Carragher has previously remarked on Diouf’s career with Liverpool saying that he is the worst player in the history of the club.

“He has one of the worst strike rates of any forward in Liverpool history.”

“He’s the only No 9 ever to go through a whole season without scoring. He was always the last one to get picked in training.”

Diouf has only score three goals in 55 appearances for the Anfield club and hardly scored more than 5 league goals a season during his entire career with a handful of English clubs, including those from the lower division.

The English fans may still remember Diouf for spitting at Celtic fans during a Uefa Cup quarter-final and taunting QPR’s Jamie Mackie as he lay on the pitch with a leg broken.

We are yet to see a response from Gerrard after Diouf told So Foot, “Steven Gerrard is a great club player but an egotist as well”

“He didn’t care about Liverpool winning – all that mattered for him was getting on the score sheet.”
